Though India fought back at the end after being taken for plenty of runs, Labuschagne batted through others collapsing around him to make 72 off 58 balls. His efforts took Australia to a score which is also the highest 50-over total at this venue, though they would rue out on a chance to get a score above 400, which was a possibility at one point.
